A lovely job.

Definitely new as there weren’t enough original ones left on the crumbling facade.

I would think they had to be specially made to be the exact size and colour.

Looks impressive, and have they used a mixture of old and new tiles or are they all original?

I am sure Cubsur will when he returns from his travels. I can't be bothered with the faff involved with loading a photo onto this site.

There is indeed a frieze of different coloured tiles at the top of the front wall. It is only possible to see a very smal corner, but plainly those are a more of a square tile shape rather than rectangular bricks . They are a lighter colour and shinier.

People were working there today but there isn't much really to see in terms of visible progress.

Have a look the pictures on this page taken in May 2020 before reconstruction began and you can see that the originals were not a uniform colour.

In my mind they always were varous shades? Could be my memory playing tricks?
